Trunk or Treat

Last night we went to the Ward Halloween Party. Rio learned how "trick or treat" works. She kept saying 'trick o treat' on the way home so we would give her more candy. I don't think she will forget this word any time soon. Cameron and I got Donald and Daisy Duck outfits from a friend. Thank you Maren! I think Cameron is GREAT for wearing it to the party.

So we could do this... they did this....

Well as you can see we have been painting our house. The color is "copper coin", and we call it "burnt pumpkin". As for the shelves they have been several colors and now they are just green. We have had a good time doing it together. It turns out that I only want to be a good painter, and Cameron actually is a better painter, but probably does not want to be. While we painted this is what our kids did.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

What we did....

We started Rio’s birthday one day early by meeting Alyson and Coleen at Gardner Village, it was very fun. Rio was not to sure about the witches. Then we went to Angela’s to play with her kids. Another good time! Next stop was Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Bruce's house, their Rio opened gifts. Plus Grandma and Grandpa Hall came by so we had to show them our Halloween outfits. That night Krey and I went to see Maddie play the violin, while Rio played with cousins. We slept over at Grandma Sharon’s (just like we did 2 years ago). The next day we meet Cameron and Grandma Julie for lunch. Grandpa Pat even can by to say Happy Birthday!! When Cameron got home we took the kids swimming! It was a great birthday.

We had a fun party at Grandpa and Grandma Whites. Even the Great grandparents came. We opened gift and ate cupcakes and ice-cream. Then we sat around and laughed while Rio sang us songs. She would tell you to sing if you weren’t and she wanted everyone to do the actions. It was great, thank you everyone.

Body World

This weekend Cameron and I went to BODY WORLD. Cameron thought that is was very interesting and he was glad he went. I thought it was cool but had a bad dream that night. It was about a horse that was dehydrated and looked like the bodies. I guess I didn’t like it as much as Cameron.

Nasty (but good) Stuff

Krey I love you so much. I think you’re the best baby. You are sleeping better and better every night. If you are upset it is easy to make you happy again. And most of all son I love that you have gas and boogers. Gas is good because you don’t hold it in and get all sick and cry. The boogers are gross too, but if boogers and gas are the worst thing I have to deal with then I’m only lucky, happy mom. Now Krey these are the tools that I use to get out our boogers. You don’t like it but you breathe much better after we do booger surgery. Thank you for having gas and boogers. I love you.

Thank you Emmy

Aunt Emilee gave Rio a delightful little box of things that have made this week very exciting. Rio has been busy coloring in her Halloween Elmo coloring book. She and I have had a good time with that. I do remind her not to put the crayons in her mouth. So now she puts the crayons down her shirt. Different, I know.

Here are the Halloween Socks she sent. They have little kitties on them, Rio thinks that is great. Also they are accented with bright pink puff balls. It was only 5 min. before she had one of those balls ripped off, and in her mouth to taste.

Stats

On October 15 I took Rio and Krey for their well child doctor visit. Don’t get excited, I still had to pay 2 co-pays. Anyways the Results are as follows:

Rio at 2 years is 34.5 inches long (50%), and 27 pounds (50%). So she is average. That is good for me, now if her grades are average that will not be good.

Krey at 2 months is 22 inches long (10%), and 11 pounds 14 ounces (25%). Mind you he was only 18 inches long and 4 pounds 11 ounces at birth. He has put on 7 pounds, that means Cameron and I are great parents. Please recommend us to the President.

Painting Pumpkins

Krey enjoying the painting.

Tonight we painted pumpkins; for the most part it went well. Rio and Cameron did this lovely pumpkin. I painted a delightful poke-a-dot pumpkin, and a diamond pattern pumpkin. They turned out…. well …. SPECIAL LOOKING. Anyway it was just practice. My theory is “Life is all about practicing”.

Blessing

So the blessing Cameron gave was beautiful. The dinner went well and I'm very grateful for everyones help, and for driving to Lehi. Thank you. Yes, this was the best picture of the 4 of us. Enjoy!! Our wonderful mom's! Thank you Sharon and Julie for all your help and love. Also thank you mom for letting my family move in with you while I was on bed rest. I love you!!

Real Salt Lake

WE LOVE REAL SALT LAKE.

GOAAAAAAAAAAAL

Little kids in a candy store

Cameron and I got to the stadium early and walked around and just took in everything. We walked to the players entrance and just stood there, like idiots. We loved it. We watched about six players pull in. We shook hands with Ian Joy and his parents. And we TALKED with Andy Williams and his wife. Also the TALKED with Mrs. Mathis (Clint Mathis's wife) and their new baby Maximus. This is a pic of Mrs Mathis, Andy Williams, Andy's daughters, and on the end is Andy's wife. It was AWESOME! We also saw my two favorite players Kyle Beckerman and Chris Wingert. Don't worry I made a fool of myself and yelled, "I love you Kyle", it was the first dumb thing that came to my mind. No shame, or shame.

Looking to the North end. Looking West

One entrance. Cool shield hu.

8 weeks - That was fast

Krey is doing well. He sleeps from about 10 to 2, and does not get up again until 6. The nights are going better and better. He eats 4 ounces every three hours in the daytime. He is starting to smile, and it is a cute smile. He is a good baby, plus he is 10 pounds now! Happy eight weeks old.

Her own Language

Rio has been talking and talking, and I just love the little things she says. When we go down the stairs she says –Hand--, so I will hold her hand. When she says Krey it comes out –Day—and just this week it came out –Tay--. If she wants something I have, she says –Rio’s turn—or –My turn--. For swimming she says –noonin--, we have been working on this, by saying – ssssssswimming--, she now says –zzzzzzz noonin--. If Rio wants to do it herself she yells – I do it—. She is so cute, and fun to be with.

The Yard

Well today I worked so hard in the yard. I got a lot of weeds in several different piles around the yard. When Cameron came home he helped me keep making piles of weeds and I'm happy to say we arev 99% done pulling weeds! Well to get rid of the piles of weeds we could put them in the garbage can or burn them. We went with burning them. After a little gas and a torch Cameron asked for a Pepsi. I said, no this is not a party, because by then he was pouring on more gas. I said "Honey no more gas." He said, "I don't want to be here all night, and you can't have a fire with out a Pepsi. Well he got the Pepsi. Then we heard the noise. Yes it was the fire department coming to our house. Cameron put the fire out as soon as he saw "The Calvery" coming. I was worried that we were going to get a big fine. Rio and I staid in the house but we looked at the big trucks and their bright lights while they talked to Cameron. I thought if we were going to get a fine Rio and I might as well enjoy the light show. Someone across the way saw the fire and thought it was in our house, so they called 911.

Turns out the firemen were nice and so far we have not got a fine. As they left Cameron told them "Great response time!", they laughed and said, "That's what we are here for." Well it was a good day in the yard.
